really, being an techno-elitist aside, you can automate the entire process using cron and something like scp, rsh, or rsync (preferably some combination of those)
Or you could just run the webserver on the machine.
Having managed a computer lab before, I can say that the behavior of naming computers is VERY handy, especialy when one computer might change roles or you might have redundant computers for a single role.
Yeah, as long as you name them right. Kind of funny: at work, some of the machines are named after people. I asked about this, and my boss said it's so that when one of them goes down, you can say "Bob's down, Bob's fucked, Bob sucks, Bob can go to hell", etc.
Anyway. Yeah, I talk to my machines. They even have nicknames. Digits = "d", Zerokarma = "z",
Crossbone = "bones". Another interesting thing is that bones' (a laptop) transformer ate it a while ago, and I didn't have the time or willpower to find out what was wrong, so I just went and got another machine. Now I have two machines named bones; whichever one has bones' hard drive becomes bones. (The other hdd is a failed win95/98 install, don't remember which. Originally was going for Debian until I realized I should probably *sigh* have a Windows box around somewhere.)
Despite the assertions in the article, Google doesn't currently pick up any indications of a national school sweep.
FBI raids school district, other targets in piracy crackdown
Ars Technica - 1 hour ago
FBI agents raided the Deer Valley [School] district's Administration Services Center, just south of Deer Valley High School in Glendale, at 6 am and stayed...
What's really funny (I thought) was the Google News link to slashdot...
Heard about this happening to a guy I work with. Monitor would go apeshit before the phone rang. My phone sort of does it, too, with the speakers; you can hear calls/text messages coming in a few seconds before the phone actually does anything, like ring. Sounds sort of like morse code. (Heh.)
Slashdot Mirror
Woohoo! :-)
I've got two of those. If you really want to have fun, take the keycaps off.
What, your car,
Car?
local transit system
Surprisingly, yes. (It doesn't seem to be intended for public use, though.)
and beach have Wi-Fi installed
I can walk up and down the beach and get shitloads of 802.11b signal.
Kind of funny... In netrek, the races are KLI, FED, ORI, and ROM. (ORI == Orion.)
Two things.
One: oh dear god..
Two: Is this guy's ass smiling at me?
They failed to mention whether caffeine was gratis or not.
If it's free, I'm going to college.
termios(3): Sounds interesting enough, though, and everyone else seems to be happy with it. I may check it out.
Okay, first we have Google files for IPO from the tech-bubble-is-here-again dept.
Then we have Sun going under.
Hrm.
They missed, damn it.
I got to paint a target on my ass or what?
For some odd reason, Sauron seems like an appropriate name for a WAP...

Good thing I got those flatscreens...

Even has the same comparisons to bluetooth.
